I think the best compromise for if a person doesn't draft in time is that the next team will have an opportunity to pick first, after which the first guy will be given a new 12-hour clock. So, for example, if Pungry doesn't post by 10:06 am tomorrow, then whoever's next, Monicro, I think, would be allowed to make his own pick and, if he did, then Pungry would get another 12 hours to pick before whoever's next got a chance to pick ahead of him, and so on.

Why not have an exception for a guy who's already posted his preferences? It's the same as saying 'I'm not going to be here for 48 hours, so when my pick comes up, draft one of these guys: A, B, C'

I know Ted Williams is in the draft, but Left Field is not really as important as a supremely reliable middle infielder.

I mean, it's not like the pool of players is going to change, and I have preferences from all of you. If that's how you guys really want to do it, then fine, but I don't know that it's a particularly good idea.

Before I go ahead and make the obvious pick of Ted Williams for my second draft in a row, I just want to know if it's likely that there will be a good middle infielder left by the second round, cause I really need one bad.

I have no idea, and, because it's a live draft, no one else knows either. So, make your gamble and hope for the best.

I'd say '60 Fox and up are definitely Super-League starter material. I can't imagine 7 2Bs get taken in the first round. Shortstop is another story...

 With the second pick of the draft, the Seattle Suicides pick Ted Williams. I have a '06 Magglio Ordonez or even a '99 Carlos Beltran up for sale with how stacked this outfield is. Too bad about the rest of the team.

Looking over my list of intended picks, Willie might fall all the way to San Juan, who have stated they want Stan Musial, or even further. 5 teams are after 2Bs, 3Bs or SSs, two teams are looking for catchers, two are after SPs and two are going for the Golden Oldies. The Cuba Smokers said they were after pitching too.

I would imagine that a lot of people will stray from their listed draft preferences just because you can visually see who the best available player is.

It's a more visceral experience than submitting your preferences to the Commissar's office and getting your guys spit right back at you. There's definitely a lot more temptation to draft for a marquee name, and arguably you don't draft your specific needs but draft for the best available and horse-trade to someone who wants Teddy Ballgame much more than you. (Of course, my Generics had a weaker OF and so Bonds fit a need and was overall best in his class anyway, so this isn't from experience.)

Draft analysis: Looking at the spreadsheet, the following teams have boring owners: The Spokane Air Raids, The Florida Dickshots, the New England Arguments, the Cuba Smokers, the Wausau Woodchucks, the Albany Pessimists, and the Web 2.0 Bloggers.

 I'm on the clock now, and I'm pretty sure about who I'm going to take, but in the interest of letting Smasher have as much time off as possible, I'm going to wait a while before picking. In the meantime, if you're really desperate to get the 7th place pick, I'll hear offers for it now! They'll have to be pretty good, though.

If at any point someone isn't thrilled with the options available to them, I am somewhat distraught about not getting in on the action til the end of Round 2 and I'd like to put a package together for your pick. The most reliable way to communicate with me is by tweeting @Mornacale.

Quite the accomplishment taking the Macho Men to the brink. Saving both Rivera and Gossage for later while getting pounded in the 10th is probably the most fitting way for the Bobbleheads to go out.

  Just a reminder of the rules: The Oranges and Unicorns are, by the rules, automatically going to make it to Super-League VIII. Meanwhile, the Saints are definitely retiring. If the Bulldogs come in fourth place, they will be relegated, and the Gumshoes will survive, but as long as they don't finish last, they will survive.   Three teams, including the Bulldogs, tied for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place. Therefore, to determine they're official standings, we'll have to look at their records against each other: Bulldogs: 14-12 Unicorns: 14-13 Oranges: 12-15 Therefore, the Bulldogs have come in 2nd place and, with the Saints retiring, also win the vacant Intercontinental Championship! Remember, kids, cheating works.    Not the best round the Unicorns have ever had, but no harm done.    Not a great round for you, either, but, again, it doesn't really matter.    This came down to the last game and, as usual for you, '28 Pete Alexander stepped up to save the day.    If you had won just one more game....
